Do I need hot water for touch- free automatic

[Cool Wash]

Hello touch free owners,

Do you use hot water In your touch free automatic ? Is it absolutely necessary? If you do use hot water, what functions do you use it for?
Instead of hot wate, can you use soft water for those functions?

Thanks

Presoak works better with hot water. Don't need it for the other functions.

You want water hotter in Winter.
You do NOT need 105---110° water in Summer. That's a recipe for burning paint & lawsuits!!!

If was 60 degrees here in Ohio this morning, with a high of 78.
He - like others on here did not put where he is from. So….
It was a general setting rec.

Global warming has not arrived here yet
According to my weather research
We have not had a day over 95 degrees since july 7 2012.
If I was in texas I would not worry about hot water

My water heater is set for 120F all year. I never touch it; just set it and forget it. Hot is tempered with cold, so really it's warm water but i use it for all functions.

I have 5 different sites...each one different water options. I operate 7...PDQ 360+s. I use HF presoak.
2 sites have no hot water, therefore... I run my presoaks alittle hotter. I'm having no problem cleaning cars...

Thank you so much!

I don’t use hot water at all and don’t have any problems. My wash is a busy wash touch free here in central Missouri. My chemical guys keep me producing a high quality wash without hot water.

He used my competitor's nylon foamy brush.
Poor bastard.

You’re one lucky guy if that is what your competition is doing to paint!

Those lines are so smooth and concentric the hood looks like a vinyl record! The dude must have been trained by Mr. Myagi.
